I have wanted to go to Spain for as long as I can remember. Finally, I am here. With a program from the University of Colorado, I am in Madrid for four weeks and Barcelona for one, studying art history. The courses are taught in english, but on my own I am also here to study Spanish language and culture by immersing myself in it, and journalism, writing, and my soul through my experiences and channeling them through this blog. Enjoy. ¡Que se divierta!

Off to Granada!
We will be in Granada tomorrow through Saturday, so I will probably not have access to a computer. I will update the blog as soon as I can when I return. I went back to the Park today, and discovered even more of it's beauty as I explored farther and farther in. There are so many statues in the park-white marble figures that seemingly hover over fountains. I found the man-made lake where people can boat--it's huge and is framed on one side with the silhouette of yet another architecturally incredible building. There was also a block-long labyrinth made of perfectly-trimmed square bushes, containing two fountains and overflowing with the sight and scent of roses. I think that is where I will spread some of Gene's ashes when I come back this weekend. I also had some of the most amazing gelato this evening at the heladería below our apartment. It was one scoop of nata (which tasted a lot like milky-coconut) topped with a sample scoop of trufa, a smooth, rich chocolate taste, all served in a little waffle-cone cup: much smaller than those in America. I'll definitely be returning for more!
